Mentoring with UpSurge support for Dr. S. Brar

By Beverly Guttman

Mentoring with UpSurge Program support

I’m thrilled to celebrate Sinai Health and support the incredible work in providing life-changing, patient-centred care. Instead of traditional gifts, I would be truly grateful if you could consider making a donation to this cause that means so much to me. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference!

Dr. Savtaj Brar, a surgical oncologist renowned for his lifesaving skills, especially in treating rare stomach cancers, is championing two programs that are particularly close to my heart. These initiatives aim to enhance the patient experience and advance care: Patient as Teacher and Mentoring with UpSurge. 

Your generous donation will help support these impactful initiatives and make a difference for those who need it most. 

  1. Mentoring with UpSurge: Dr. Brar and a small team of dedicated residents are working to 'expand the pipeline' of medical residents choosing to become surgeons through mentorship. They will seek to improve diversity to attract more patient-centred residents to surgery. If you'd like to support this program, please make your donation here on this page. 
  2. Patient as a Teacher

This program focuses on educational learning for surgical residents and recognizing patients as partners in this process.

Thank you for your support — it truly means the world to me! Together, we can empower Sinai Health to continue discovering and delivering life-changing care.
